Need a new leotard?

14th August 2010


Star Leotards will be visiting us on 23rd August at 7pm for anybody needing a new leotard, shorts etc... If you need one it would be good for you to let them know in advance so they can bring appropriate sizes to try on. Remember all leotards ordered are made to size and are not 'of the peg' so if you need one for the Open or October Grading now is a good time to order.

George Nissen - sadly missed

8th April 2010

We have been advised by Tim Blake, the son of the Nissen UK Chief Exec Ted Blake who worked with George Nissen to develop the modern sport we know today, that George Nissen, the inventor of the modern trampoline, passed away. He died this morning at 3:10am (London local time) mid-evening Wednesday 7:10pm (San Diego California local time - 7th April) at the age of 96 from complications from pneumonia. His wife and family were in attendance at his bedside. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

George Nissen was an inspiration and despite his age was always in attendance at the annual Nissen Cup, the longest running international competition in trampoline named in his honour, where he would still perform tricks to delight the audience. More details about Nissen's contribution to trampolining are at http://www.brentwoodtc.org/history.htm and associated pages.

Bouncing Higher

8th March 2010

The following announcement on the BG website affects international competition from this September onwards and is highly likely to filter into UK competitions over the next year to 18-months so good reason to start to work on getting those routines a little higher:

The FIG Executive have approved a new Code of Points for Trampoline which will come into affect on 1st September 2010 and which will include Time of Flight to be used in all rounds of individual competition (first, second and final routines).

The Time of Flight will be added to the current scoring system i.e. a routine score is E+E+E+D+T (T=Time of Flight).

The FIG EC has also approved a document that outlines the functional properties of the “machine” (TMD - Time Measuring Device) developed by the TRA-TC and the Apparatus Commission together.

For further information please visit the FIG website.



Hull Gala Results

7th March 2010

A very good weekend for us in Hull. Saturday had Hannah McCann and Charlotte Webb entering their first FIG B event whilst Sunday we had Chrissie law & Anthony Williams in the National C competition. Hannah & Charlotte were not able to repeat their 1/2 in their last National C but did very well indeed beating many regular FIG B competitors taking 4th and 5th places respectively. Anthony & Chrissie both also finalled with Anthony taking 5th and Chrissie 7th.

Early Season Highs

8th February 2010

Early season has been seeing Brentwood excel in all areas of competition. We have seen our members succeed in both regional and schools competitions and this weekend was the turn for national competitors. There were mixed results at the Gloucester Gala weekend with a disappointing day for Chrissie but delight for Hannah and Charlotte streaking away from the competition with a 1-2 placing (decided between them on tie-break), a new personal best for Charlotte and qualification for both to national finals/FIG B competition.
